GUEST,Sally M - at work	I sing songs...about dead people (64* d)	RE: I sing songs...about dead people	03 Feb 05
How about the "Six Lords went a-fishing". It's in digitrad - but I can't do the blue clicky thing. However I sing the Cecil Sharpe collected version about the Duke of Bedford & Woburn Abbey - cos it's near to where I live. Although I don't ofen sing it, I have found that children are intrigued with the verse about 'opened his bowels and spread out his feet". Also "The Lady from Oxford city" (?) where her sailor/servant lover kills her with poison in her drink and then drinks the same himself - "young men beware of jealousy". Well if blood and gore can get children interested in tradional songs then great, there's heaps to choose from aren't there ! Sally
